Following up on the earlier post...Kyle Quincey is expected to have back surgery tomorrow, to repair his herniated disc, and (obviously) will miss the rest of the season.

Since Hickey is sent to the minors, is he eligible to fill in Quincey's sport for emergency basis?
Back surgery is no joke. Q-man hope everything goes well and you recover fully.
Hopefully Kyle will recover 100% for next season. He has been a pleasant surprise and will be a key part of the team next season. Good luck Kyle!
And to think the guy with the second most assist on the team wasn't even with the organization when the season started. Nice Job #27!
Kings want Hickey to help Manch make a playoff run. That's whats best for him and the organization. No use in wasting one of Hickey's contract years on this team. Just put Goats back in the lineup.
Well, we didn't need to win that many games the rest of this year. The sooner he is healthy the better!!!
I had the same surgery, he should be skating again in a month or so.... I dont notice it at all anymore. Best of luck to Quinc one of my favorites this year.
Drewiske will probably finish the year up here and Harold will get to play his natural position again.
